PHYTOPHAGA FROM SUMATRA 39?) 



sides of tlie thorax, the species somewhat resembles A', rufam, 

 Clark l)ut that species is double the size and the distribution of 

 colour is different, it has also fiavous antennae and tibiae. A 

 single, apparently female specimen was obtained. 



20. Nodostoma parvuJum, n. sp. — Pale fulvous, convex, tho- 

 rax with strongly rounded sides, the latter deeply but remotely 

 punctured, elytra with basal depression, strongly punctate-striate, 

 the apex nearly impunctate. 



Length 1 line. 



Head rather elongate, with some fine, very remotely placed 

 punctures , clypeus not defined , its apical margin but slightly 

 emarginate, antennae rather long and slender, fulvous, the ter- 

 minal joints slightly darker, all the joints with the exception 

 of the second one , of nearly equal length ; thorax strongly 

 transverse, the sides rather more than usually rounded, the sur- 

 face very sparingly covered with deep round punctures which 

 are especially deep and slightly more closely placed at the sides, 

 the anterior portion has no transverse sulcus except at the 

 sides; elytra strongly convex, with a short transverse depression 

 i)elow the base, the latter punctured as well as the rest of the 

 surface , the punctures rather strong and closely placed , the 

 apical portion nearly smooth , the suturai and lateral margins 

 slightly darker, at the shoulder is a short oblique costa, so 

 frequently found in this genus. 



Hub. Pangherang-Pisang, Si-Rambé. 



One of the smallest species of the genus and distinguished by 

 the very strongly rounded and not augniate sides of the thorax 

 and its deep and remote punctuation in connection with the 

 convex elytra. 



21. Nodostoma Chapuisi, n. sp. — Fiavous or fulvous, the an- 

 tennae (the basal four joints excepted) black, tliorax convex, 

 tlie sides rounded, the disc very sparingly and finely punctured ; 

 elytra convex without basal depression, very finely punctate- 

 striate.
